Appliances Shipping Cost from Chengdu to Cleveland, Ohio

Shipping from China to the US costs vary wildly, from ~$20 for tiny parcels via USPS to $3,000-$6,000 for a full 40ft container by sea freight, with air freight falling in between at around $5-$8/kg, depending heavily on speed, size, weight, and current demand. Expect 3-5 days for express courier, 5-10 days for air freight, and 15-35 days for ocean freight, with prices fluctuating seasonally.

Using an international courier, also known as express freight is generally more reliable and quicker than by mail, whether it's DHL, UPS or TNT. As a rule of thumb, at about $5 per kilo, express freight is the cheapest shipping mode for packages or small shipments up to about 150 kg.

Shipping from China to the USA takes 1 day to over a month, depending heavily on the method: Air Express (1-5 days), Air Freight (2-15 days), or Sea Freight (15-45+ days), with major factors including port congestion, customs, and the final US coast (West Coast is faster).
